A Collaborative Partnership for Meaningful Growth

Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that the most impactful work happens through a dedicated, active collaboration. I am driven by those pivotal moments in therapy when clarity is reached and a path forward emerges. With nearly a decade of experience, I provide a focused space for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, or major life transitions who are ready to move beyond "just getting by."

I work best with clients who view therapy as an active partnership and are ready to do work between sessions. Together, we will focus on the insights and practical tools necessary for your personal evolution.

Una Colaboración Dedicada para un Crecimiento Significativo

Hola, soy una Consejera Profesional Licenciada que cree que el trabajo más impactante ocurre a través de una colaboración activa y dedicada. Me motivan esos momentos clave en la terapia donde se alcanza la claridad y surge un camino a seguir. Con casi una década de experiencia, ofrezco un espacio enfocado para personas que navegan por la ansiedad, la depresión o transiciones importantes de vida y que están listas para dejar de "simplemente sobrevivir."

Mi práctica está diseñada para quienes buscan recuperar su voz auténtica a través de un proceso terapéutico comprometido y colaborativo. Trabajo mejor con clientes que ven la terapia como una colaboración activa y están listos para seguir trabajando entre sesiones. Juntos, nos enfocaremos en las perspectivas y herramientas prácticas necesarias para su evolución personal.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

I am a firm believer that life–even the best of lives– has moments of pain and suffering; however great or small. Some come to pass quickly and float away from our consciousness, while others stay with us, shape us, change our relationships and the way we see the world. The rest of our life is filled with moments dependent on how we cope with, process and accept those moments of pain or suffering.

Searching for the right therapist can feel overwhelming, and taking the first step isn’t always easy. I’m here to make that process feel a little less stressful. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, overwhelming emotions, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together in a supportive, judgment-free space where you can feel heard and understood.

I want my clients to know that therapy with me is a place where you can show up as you are. I am a bilingual English/Spanish Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C), and Infant Mental Health Endorsed (IMH-E). I support mothers during pregnancy and postpartum, adults navigating stress, anxiety, ADHD, or life transitions, and children and teens ages 6–18 who may be struggling with ADHD, attention, organization, emotions, or self-confidence even when there is not yet a formal diagnosis. My goal is for every client to feel understood, supported, and never judged.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor (LCSW-S) with more than 20 years of experience in social work and behavioral health. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adults, and families, with a particular focus on individual and group therapy with adults. Most recently, my clinical work has centered on supporting Veterans experiencing PTSD and trauma-related concerns. I also have extensive experience helping individuals navigate parenting challenges, major life transitions, relationship and family concerns, stress, anxiety, depression, and other experiences that can impact emotional well-being.
